Road Pricing
To better utilise the available infrastructure of motorways and express ways and to improve traffic distribution, a road pricing system has been set up. In 1997 an annual fee for motor vehicles to use motorways and express ways was introduced. This fee is paid via the purchase of a sticker (vignette) which has to be stuck onto the windscreen. The price of the vignette in 2019 is € 89.20 for passenger vehicles. For motor vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes, a toll depending on mileage was introduced in 2004. The rates are updated annually on the ASFINAG website.
